Privacy Policy
Effective September 2, 2026
FreeUp.My is operated by FileMesh, 1178 Broadway, New York, NY 10001. It reviews Google Drive storage and, when you choose, processes supported files. This policy describes the data the service needs and avoids absolute security or deletion promises.
Information we process
- Your Google account name, email address, authorization tokens, and service session information.
- The initial file check reads your Google storage quota and basic Drive file details: file size, extension, and whether a file is owned, shared, trashed, and editable. This initial check does not request file names, identifiers, or folder paths.
- After you start a compression run, the service also uses the identifiers, names, and folder relationships needed to process and report on files included automatically in the authorized run, up to the allowance you selected.
- File content only after you start a compression run, so the service can download, process, validate, and upload supported files.
- Operational records such as job progress, errors, security logs, support messages, and basic product analytics.
- Checkout and payment status from our payment provider. FreeUp.My does not receive your full card number.
How we use information
We use this information to authenticate you, check your Drive storage usage, find files that may be made smaller, apply the allowance you selected, run requested compression jobs, verify payment before a paid job starts, show results, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and provide support.
Why Google requests full Drive access
Google's full Drive permission is required because an approved run must read each included file and update that same Drive file in place after validating that the compressed output is readable and smaller. Before you approve a run, the file check uses storage quota and basic file details rather than file content. File content is accessed only after you start a run. You can revoke access at any time in your Google account settings.
Google API Limited Use
FreeUp.My's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
File processing and retention
The initial file check is based on quota and basic Drive file details. If that scan reaches its time limit, the interface labels its estimate as a fallback based on total Drive usage. A compression run requires temporary access to file content. Processing may use isolated temporary working storage, which is cleaned after processing. Unsupported files are skipped. Account records, file details, job state, payment references, and diagnostic logs may be retained when needed to operate, secure, and support the service. For a current retention period or a deletion request, contact FileMesh support.
Service providers and international processing
Data may be handled by Google, cloud infrastructure, payment, monitoring, and analytics providers that help us operate FreeUp.My. Processing may occur outside your country under the safeguards available from those providers and applicable law.
Checkout is provided by Polar, which acts as merchant of record for paid purchases and handles card data, sales tax or VAT, receipts, and payment and refund processing. FreeUp.My receives purchase status and transaction references rather than your full card number.
Security
We use transport encryption and technical access controls intended to protect data. No online service can promise perfect security. If you believe your account or data is at risk, revoke FreeUp.My access in your Google account and contact us.
Your choices
You can stop before starting a compression run, revoke Google access from your Google account settings, clear your local browser session by signing out, and request access to or deletion of personal data where applicable.
Analytics and cookies
FreeUp.My uses essential browser storage for session, checkout-return, and wizard state. Google Analytics is disabled unless you choose “Allow analytics” in the on-site analytics settings. If enabled, Google Analytics may process page and product events, a browser client identifier, session information, approximate location, and browser or device information. You can reopen Analytics settings to withdraw that choice; essential storage remains necessary for sign-in and checkout return flows.
